No other adult or underage fixtures including competitive and friendly matches are permitted.

Cancelled matches will see both teams awarded 2 points for a 0-0 draw.

Training is still allowed to continue however IRFU Guidance is that this should be non-contact only and should take place in pods of 15.

These measures will remain in place for all competitions until the 27th October, however there will be an ongoing review.
